Burnley (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Jesus2020]

That was a great win. The pundits are either naive or trying to create a narrative - which is why Haaland looked a bit confused by their questions.
This was not a game where we go and beat a shit, open team by loads of goals. This was a team fighting on the very last day to stay up, or at least go down fighting. This was a harder game than if they were safe. This was also a team that did everything they could to prevent us from scoring. We always struggle against teams like this. That early goal helped us because it meant we could keep possession.

Pundits emploring us to go for goals - we see what happens when we do that against teams like this. They wait for us to pour everyone forward and they go for the counter. We nullified that today whilst remaining possession and still having a chance to try to score. What you don't want to do in a title race is get caught up in the hype, go for goal and concede. Better to win 1-0 and get the points.

Great win today. Top of the league.

Arsenal have scored 1 goal or less in their last 6 games....it won't be an issue

I hope you're right, but from what I've seen of Newcastle I don't expect them to give Arsenal too many problems.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

28 shots- conversion rate of 3.6%.
That is a grim figure considering the players we are supposed to have.
Absolutely awful.
Not surprised Pep was apoplectic.

Did we win ?

 

[eyalluvitt]

The one where Aguero's shot literally crawled over the line by a centimetre ? I was thinking about that game too tonight.

Scabbing wins in six finger land is what we do

 

[paulchapo]

The usual serving of idiots in here who think anything but a 4-0 win at Burnley is a loss.

It's because goal difference could be vital that's the only reason there's disappointment.

 

[coolcity]

Made hard work of it, but we take the win and move on. Was expecting there to be a bit of a hangover from Sunday, but some leggy, nervy performances there tonight. Would be tempted to rotate a bit on Saturday to freshen things up.

Sorry but I didn't see any nervy performances. Just a tough match against a team who were always going to park the bus. ON another night 2 or 3 of those could have gone in and we'd be lauding the performance. So fickle.

Exactly - as Haaland says, we won & we’re top
Of the league

That performance showed what the Arsenal game took out of us
We lacked energy and sharpness but got the all important win.
let's see what Atletico do to Arsenal both physically and mentally.
we're in a great position.

 

[marco]

fuck we got top of the lg this evening which was gone a few weeks back and people are moaning, end of season games can chuck up some crazy results and there will be a few to come for both City and Arsenal, doubt very much it will even come down to goal average at the end

 

[coolcity]

Arsenal are in rank form and didn’t score at home against Sporting. Why people suddenly think we’re up against Klopp’s Liverpool, I’ll never know.

If we win 1-0 for the rest of this season we’ll be champs.

Exactly.

 

[Bald fraud]

Won to go top with 5 to play but feels like a bad result.
Arsenal play twice now before we do again in the league.

Let’s hope atletico drain the tarquins legs!

 

[bg1968]

After the lord mayors show performance , we can take all the shit coming our way from all and sundry , but we are TOP OF THE LEAGUE

 

[pudge]

But they didn't and outside of one world class save at 0-0 it wasn't a case of coming up against an inspired 'keeper

 

[Bald fraud]

No Rodri, no party.

Still won though

 

[Marvin.]

In 2018 we won the title but drew 1-1 at Burnley.

 

[Craig]

RAN not good enough keep orielly at lb ,Rodri back in and give marmoosk a go in front of samenyo

Not going to happen. Semenyo is proven in this league and Pep clearly doesn’t rate Marmoush

Yet that's what half the posters in here (and 90% in the match thread) expected us to do. The media I understand, our own fans I don't.

If anyone posts that Michael Palin "did you enjoy that"
meme they want banning til next season

Lol .....

 

[Ban-jani]

It’s a fantastic result. We WON.

Arsenal are struggling for goals and dropping results left right and centre.

They’ve got two gruelling games against Athletico that’ll sap energy out of them.

 

[Big_Alan]

So many comparisons to 2019 with Aguero goal...
